My goal for this blog is two-fold. One is to update it weekly with an entry about a book or library related topic. The other is to review, suggest, and comment on books that I am currently reading or have read in the past that others may enjoy. I started this blog in 2007 as a resolution to read outside of my comfort zones and select one book from a different genre to read each month. This blog will serve as a chronicle to my efforts. Enjoy!

Well, I haven't been the greatest about reading books from my own bookshelf. I did accomplish this twice so far this year. The first book was The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis. I have been trudging my way through this series, and I have to say that the second book was the best, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I will eventually finish the series though.

I also read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. A friend of mine gave a copy to me as a birthday present last September, and I have had it sitting on my bookshelf since then. I finally picked it up, and I was quite surprised at how good it was! Science Fiction has never been something I've enjoyed. I liked the book so much that I requested the next two in the series and read them all in a row. I have never read a series straight through from start to finish, so I guess that attests to how good it was.

I am currently reading a historical romance for review which I am enjoying. I will post the review here once I am finished. I have been reading quite a few Caldecotts with my son at night for bedtime which I love. I have only a few left to read and then I can say I've read them all.
